"The gomens fandom has so much discourse rn" not that i can see all i see is my little corner of mutuals respecting each other and doing our own thing and my block list accumulated over a few years of being here

OKAY since 15 implied star trek has at least some version of canonity within dr who do u think after the empty child/the doctor dances he took jack and rose to the enterprise just to be like LOOK! Do u see!! His ears are wayy bigger then mine !! And spock is just standing there like this happens every tuesday to him coz it probably does.

Don’t let fake fans tell you different, Trek has always been queer 🏳️‍🌈🪐🚀

[indouscurse]

you have to consciously unlearn racism and continue to watch for it because it will come out without realizing. because so much of society is structured around it. shrugging and going "i dont care" or "i dont know how else to say it" means you are okay with being racist and hurting other people with how much you dont give a shit about them.

I am five episodes into star trek and i wouls also invent a new type of literature for these idiots

[partywithponies]

My woke take, as someone who has worked in both a public library and a school library, is that we desperately need both more books that are at a higher reading level but a less mature subject matter, and more books that are at a lower reading level but a more mature subject matter, because 8 year olds who are advanced readers are still 8 year olds and don't want to read about graphic violence and torture, and teens and adults who have learning difficulties or who are just later readers for whatever reason are still teens and adults and don't want to read about Billy the Bunny going to school or whatever the hell.

Shoutout to people in the notes also mentioning people learning the language, I should've mentioned that really, given that I've been stuck reading German picture books myself while learning German.

[emryses]

listen to me. this is my final message to you. when you are at your lowest a fictional guy will come to you and when that happens you must start putting them in situations. this is the meaning of life.

literally what I’m doing every day

Me when i read gay fanfiction: omg theyre gay

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

I can very much relate to this and all jokes aside, I know the reason why I read more fanfics than original novels is because I’m here for the characters I already know, love, and am passionate about. with original novels, I don’t know who these characters are, I’m not passionate enough about getting to know them. which is the same reason why I don’t read fics with ocs either. which is not to say original novels and ocs are bad. but personally, I’m only here for my comfort fictional men being put in Situations

my dad (Maori) works on a ship with all Maori/Tongan/Samoan fisherman- and one Aussie guy called Jake.

And that wasn't done on purpose just sort of how it ended up, but Jake recently got an injury so they put him on a Different boat just for a little bit (a sit in the wheelhouse and scout type of boat, instead of the main fishing one) and he only got back to my dad's ship today and he was apparently like Shaking. He was Traumatised.

Dad said Jake kept pulling him aside and going "They were all yelling on there, but in a MEAN way" "They didn't clean... Like at ALL"

Jake experienced what a boat full of old school Aussie fisherman is like. That is the norm Jake. You just happened to be on the all Island boy boat on your first go out. "It was time for dinner and they had FROZEN nuggets" Jake that's what they have on ships that are out at sea for months at a time.

On my dad's boat they are eating fresh fish and coconut milk Ceviche. They're grilling steaks on an open bbq on the deck that probably is not regulation. All the guys have their own special knives to prepare sashimi every couple days. Everyone is happily doing their own work so they can clock out early and set up a movie on the deck. Jake did you genuinely believe that's what every boat was doing.

Local Australian man is fed fresh juices and smoked fish for first time- refuses to go back to beef jerky boat life

[emptyjunior]

jake that first night when they served a freezer tray tv dinner and not an overflowing plate of fish that's probably going for conservatively like $40-$80 bucks a kilo but the guys decided Eh we'll catch more let's just fry it up:

i’m going to hold your hands when i say this and i am only going to be kind about it once: ai does not belong in fandom spaces, ever. not in writing, not in art, not in video, not at all. it does not matter how bad you want to see your favourite characters kiss, or how much you need a bit of help finishing a chapter, or whatever.

make friends with artists. commission somebody. learn to draw yourself. ask for a beta read. try a writing partnership. fandom spaces are communities, so engage with them! it is about the journey and the fact that we all love something enough to create and build together about that thing.

spending 30 seconds to kill a tree and get an AI to push out some soulless empty piece of “content” is antithetical to the entire point of being engaged with fandom, and if you’ve taken to doing this you should really reconsider if you belong in these spaces with the rest of us.

"Star Trek was loved by housewives!"

"Star Trek was loved by working women!"

My grandma used to clean for this rich lady who had a color TV, and when Star Trek came on, that lady would make my grandma take a break from cleaning so they could watch the episode together. My grandma can still recall how thrilling (sometimes scary) the episodes were and how hot Captain Kirk was. Tiny coincidence that he shared some physical similarities with my grandpa.

So I would say it was definitely both. And for many different reasons.

Sigh..... should i watch tos....
